  2. New Member Introductions
    My phone is bluetoothed to my 2016 optima, the media plays just fine but when I make calls it doesn't play through my car. I have been able to bluetooth it just fine to other cars, and I just recently bought a new phone which does the same thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  6. DIY Projects
    Folks, I need some help to know how I can get my phone buttons back into place on the steering wheel. It seems they were pushed too hard and have fallen inside. See photo. Is this a DIY job or do I need to take it in? Thanks for your help. Rob

    HI, I had to do a factory reset on my Galaxy S6, and lost ALL of my contacts in my phone book. But, yesterday I noticed they are still in my car when I pair the phone. Is there a way to transfer them back to my phone. That would really be a life saver, believe me. I lost years of contacts...

    I'm not sure about most of you, but I know I was quite disappointed when I found my designated “USB” port in my Optima SX barely charged my phone, if at all… After doing some research I wanted to find out about possibly replacing one of the two 12V “Cigarette Lighters” with a Dual USB port...
  10. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    Anyone have any feedback on the wireless phone charger in the new Optima? My Samsung S7 Edge is equipped for it, but I also have a case on it, and I'm wondering if the phone will charge with a case. I know it depends on the case, but some of these Qi chargers are pretty weak and require a...

    I sold my Optima last month and have a used ProClip Dashboard Mount (#854641) for sale. I used it with an iPhone mount that I moved to my new car, this was the best phone mount that I have ever had, and I have another for my new car and wife's. Anyway, looking to sell this one, no broken tabs...

    My wife and I have the same phone (Samsung Galaxy S5). The bluetooth recognized them both but when it comes time to choose which one is connected, we can't distinguish b/c they are both assigned the same name. Can one be named, say, "HIS" and the other "HERS?" Thanks!

    So I've got a 14 Optima EX. Never had any problems with playing music over Bluetooth but all of the sudden, today, neither mine nor my wife's iPhone 6 will play over Bluetooth. When we hit the media button it says no media. Any idea why this would happen all of the sudden? We've tried deleting...

    Looking for a quality smart phone mount/charger that plugs into my 12v accessory plug under my radio, there are so many online just wanted to get some opinions on what worked for other Optima owners, FWIW I have a 2015 Optima EX.

    Hey all; I know the answer has got to be right in front of me... In my new Optima with UVO (no nav)-- How do i use the bluetooth phone functions with out having the music on (whether BT audio, SAT or FM/AM). Sometimes I want just a quiet ride, but still need my BT Phone functionality...

  18. Entertainment: Audio, Navigation, and Electronics
    Sorry if this has already been addressed. I tried to find a previous topic but was unsure what keywords to look for. Anyway, this is my wife's car so I don't drive it that often so I have not experimented. My wife is constantly on the phone (thank god for BT!) she comes home pulls in garage...

    I would like to send the video from my phone to the video display on my 2013 Optima SXL. I have the full Nav package and I have a samsung Galaxy S5 for a phone. Anyone know if there is an adapter or a wireless adapter available to do this? I want to push the google maps to the screen.
